Millions of other people have issues about this too, this is not a fine - its a trap!

No its not a criminal matter it doesn't have to be. It is still a fine or a penalty implying that you have committed an offence no matter what law it falls under, it doesn't have to be a criminal one. And so therefore what I'm trying to point out is judging by his actions that he 'tried' to pay the crossing fee but there were problems in the way which were beyond his control - and he has a right to defend that. Think about it

Oh, so don't you appreciate it? All I'm trying to do is to pull the wool back from over peoples eyes, because people are being targeted by these stealth fines and I'm here to show em what to do and to stop these authorities from taking the law into their own hands. Well for a start you need to change that attitude! The first thing that lets you down in any tense situation is that. Theses dart charge people are imposing a penalty, so a penalty is saying that you have committed an offence, and in every case you have a right to defend that no matter what. Millions of people are just giving in and paying these fines for which they shouldn't have been doing. Because if you pay the fine then you are admitting guilt, you are admitting that you are guilty of the said offence, and consequently you'll never get your money back. It is wholly a legalised crime really, and I'm just trying to tell you and every single person who uses that crossing to watch out!

It doesn't matter whether you forgot afterwards as that's no longer relevant, you are entitle to defend what you did in the first place which wasn't your fault, so therefore the burden of proof is on them to prove you guilty of a fine by finding that you didn't do what you did, it is down to them to prove that you didn't go to any paypoint outlet and that you didn't make any phonecalls in an attempt to make payment - if they can't prove that - tough! You have the right to remain innocent until proven guilty - no one is above the law! No they don't care at all, I mean what kind of attitude is that? All they care about and all they are trying to do is bend over as much as possible to make you pay that fine, regardless if you needed to cross that bridge if it was a life death situation or even if you were in an accident as to so you couldn't get home or to a source to pay the crossing fee, all they care about is their money and nothing else, and they'll try every tactic that they can in order to squeeze the money out of you, they couldn't care if you were terminally ill, seriously they are that morbid. The system is rotten! The system is wholly designed to target and to trap you simply because you are a human being and that we all forget from time to time, and so this is what we all need to think about. You have fully covered yourself by saying you did what you did and that's the end of it. Do indeed carry on going to blue water because its not your fault at all if the authorities can't be bothered to sort out their facilities, its down to them. Its not a fine, its a trap, or its an invoice. I wish you a comfortable recovery from your operation as are never pleasant

Meaning that he has already complied to make payment by 'Attempting' so therefore for the fine to be valid they would have to prove that he didn't make any attempt, and how are they going to do that - case closed. If you get bailiffs turn up at your door ask to see proof of a warrant with a Judges actual signature, otherwise its has not legal binding and therefore has no power. If they start getting aggressive then call the police, get your phone out and start filming and ask them to step off your property otherwise its trespassing. Hope this all helps you and I hope you didn't pay that fine! (God bless). I'm here to point people in the right direction and to steer them away from these stealth traps or unlawful fines that are daunting our nation and ruining innocent peoples lives, its is a notorious climate out there in the UK for these greed driven authorities to target the innocent driver whilst all we are trying to do is go about our normal lives and I'm here to stop these ******s getting in our way, be it a dart charge fine, hospital car park fine, dvla sorn fine etc, whatever you do Do not pay.

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum. first of all we need to establish the basics surrounding the ins and outs of this stealth dart charge penalty and its only with caution that you do so. First of all I'm gonna start with 'Defence' In the beginning it was said that he went to look for a pay point and tried to phone in in an 'Attempt' to make payment for the crossing. Therefore he has a right to defend that. If there are problems getting through to making payment like that then that is not his problem and therefore the penalty should be rightly waived. One basic fundamental right is that you are 'Innocent' until proven guilty. NOT the other way round, it doesn't matter who they are, no authority in the land has the legality to do so without a course of court action first.
